Whoooot! Awesome, just like always, Navydawg. Too bad King Aurthur isn't working on his Super mod atm.

They are great and I hope you will be able to do the Zoomer and Psionic eventually.

As many have said the Zapper effects are incredible. How does one create lightning in Poser (if it's not revealing a trade secret)?
Well, it might be a trade secret if I was making money on any of this. As it is, I enjoy it as a hobby, and if I were making money, it would be like work and become tedious... But I digress.

I bought a pack of sci-fi effects figures on either the DAZ or Content Paradise site - can't remember which ATM. It has figures for engine exhaust, gun flashes, lightning, shields, etc... which I've used on a lot of units. It's not the only way, just mine. I personally think Plotinus has made some nice lightning effects, but I'll be damned if I know how.

@ CamJH, thanks for picking up on the allusion to Right Said Fred.:lol:

I made my lightning by using flat images within the scene. That is, it's a flat polygon figure, with a lightning image applied to it, and a transparency. I do think yours looks more convincing, but I'm glad you like mine!

I always think that if I really had a LOT of spare time, I'd actually make a 3D lightning model out of cylinder primitives, which would be easier to use and look better. But somehow I don't think it's going to happen.
